Guy,

OpenVPN supports QoS (Quality of Service) under Linux using the --passtos
option.  While I don't personally use this feature, it should be possible to
prioritize traffic using the Linux QoS features, then use --passtos to tell
OpenVPN to apply the QoS bits to the outgoing TCP/UDP tunnel link.
